wich Cpu to buy?

You already have the hardware: Amazon.com: Intel Core i7 6700K 4.00 GHz Unlocked Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151 [BX80662I76700K]: Computers & Accessories is your best option at pricepoint. It is also a bit faster than the 4790k. As eagles stated, it does not make much sense for you to completely switch platforms (mobo, ram, etc) when all you really need to do is upgrade the CPU.

Here is a comparison:

Intel Core i7 6700K vs 4790K

Thanks m8 :) really appreciate the help :) will let you all now wich i end up with :)
 
if you gonna get a new cpu, shouldn't you get an i7 7700k over an i7 6700k ? sure the difference is only a slight upgrade, but the price difference is next to nothing.

He could as they are both the same socket architecture.
 
7700K and 6700K are identical in performance per GHz. Literally the same. 7700K is only better in terms of thermals and overclock sealings. Both at 4GHz are 99.9% the same performance. Unless you are overclocking to 4.8GHz+, buy whichever that's cheaper.
 
7700k says 4.20 GHz base and 4.50 GHz max while 6700k says 4.00 GHz base and 4.20 GHz max

For like 15 euro more I'll buy the 7700k :P
